This PR adds a new register to the protocol called Tag.
This new register should be used to optionally keep information regarding a specific tag of a firmware version. A simple use case would be to keep track of a development version of a given minor release.
Motivation
During development it is often the case that intermediate firmware versions are released. These are impossible to track in the firmware as the protocol only specifies a major and minor version. This new register is added to meet this need. Users can use this register to add a "build" or "preview" tag to the firmware, for instance the git commit that generated the release.
Detailed Design
A new register will be added with the following specs:
Name: Tag
Address: 17
Format: U8[8]
Access: Read-only
